The market has been at the heart of Ely community life for over 800 years. We have three main markets a week on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday – plus a Farmers’ Market twice a month and Mini-Markets every Friday. Everyone is welcome and thousands of people visit our stalls every week.
Our Markets
CHARTER MARKET

Our friendly weekly market is a fabulous shopping destination and an important community hub. There’s everything you’d expect from a traditional market, plus a few surprises. Each week you’ll find locally grown fruit and vegetables, flowers, household goods, artisan bread, cakes and more.
